Then in 2009 another uproar over pork-bailout politics effecting school lunches errupted as doctors once again yelled at the USDA and then-as-now Secretary Tom Vilsak for bailing out the pork industry and “loading school meals down with more saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium” through another $30 million injection of pork products.

“Does anyone truly believe that America’s students need more bacon, sausage, and pepperoni pizza in their school breakfasts and lunches?” wrote Susan Levin of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.

Wonder what they’ll say to Vilsak now that he’s more than tripling the amount of what Levin called artery-clogging pork products.
